Hello Friends,
You had to be patient, but there were head high sets every now and then at the point this morning. The beach was equally inconsistent and it looks as though the 1.7 metre 14 second period SSE is mostly shutting down the open stretches. Tide was high at 0720 and will be back to low at 1300. Air quality is rated poor by the Dept of Planning and Environment and the smoke haze is going to be around all day. Weather otherwise should be sunny as we head to a high of 23. The wind will swing NE this afternoon, so the plan is to go sooner rather than later.
Outlook for tomorrow and Friday is for similar conditions, give or take. And we might even have waves through the weekend.
Go well and beginners, maybe give it a pass today.
Weather Situation
A strong high pressure system centred over southern New South Wales is slowly drifting eastward, to be followed by a broad ridge of high pressure for the rest of the week and over the weekend. A low pressure trough is forecast to brush the southeast coast of New South Wales late Friday into Saturday.
